Just the addition of Homing Arrows on a multi shot bow was enough for me. Add in a Molduga Jaw on a Royal Guard Claymore one hit away from breaking (for use only on the Lynel's back), Bone Proficiency Up armor, and a Level Three Attack Up food buff. Lynals have gone from the bane of my existence in BotW, to manageable. The Phantom Ganondorf fights have surpassed them as the new "I would rather be hunting Korrok seeds" fights in the game. **Shudder**

@@Starcat5 I find the phantom ganon to be easy, Lynel are just hell and I will go out of my way to avoid them. 🤣 I may have to check how many puff shoot I have and give this method a try.
@@Starcat5 i struggled with my first lynel kill, but despite letting my first phantom Ganon kill spread a whole heap of gloom whilst I watched from a distance, I actually defeated it quite easily when it teleported next to me and forced me to attack it with melee weapons. The trick with phantom Ganons is to not let the gloom spread by hitting it quick enough. A good buff for this is to have as many sages active around you, as they’ll still get hits even if there’s gloom about. Otherwise, phantom Ganon attacks are pretty easy to dodge and parry.
I ended up finding the colosseum in the depths near the beginning of the game. One of the toughest challenges I’ve ever faced, but god was it satisfying to beat. 😭
Same for me, I think it was the first coliseum that I found 😅 on the last Lynel I was down to 1.5 hearts and no food left.. I won by a hair. It was very satisfying
For farming, I suggest fusing a puffshroom to a forest dweller weapon to make it much more cost effective. Use dazzlefruit and you have a reusable pocket flashbang essentially that doubles as a stal-destroyer
If you want to practice flurry rushing lynels, just focus on their weapon swing. You can trigger the flurry rush at any point mid swing, so if you just focus on the timing of them bringing their arm down, or when they open their jaws mid charge, you’ll always be able to trigger it. Hope this helps!
Another one is the headlong rush! There’s a MASSIVE flurry rush window. The best way is strafing left or right for that one as even if you fail it you won’t take damage. For the downswing, the backflip is my preferred but a strafe also works.

@@bofa722 that must be why the average length it takes to fight one has gone up, and there's twice as many videos on the topic. 🙄 If this guy is a rookie, it's gonna be harder for him.
@@thisguy1413the time it takes to fight one has gone up because TotK weapons are weaker, but even this is overcome by getting pristine weapons from the depths & fusing.
BotW Lynels were easy once I figured out how to use stasis and big bonfires to get up in the air so I could hit them with bomb arrows to the face. I never even got close enough for them to hit me.
You can warp away from the lynels at the colosseum in between fights and grab more puffshrooms or heal or w.e. as long as a bloodmoon doesnt happen to reset the current wave.
Slight tweak to your method. Puff shroom, shoot head to stun, get on back, stab, repeat. Mounted attacks don’t decrease durability. Edit: this is my most liked comment and I’m not sure how to feel about that
Added slight tweak, get Royal Greatsword, fuse it with you strongest item, keep smashing it into the ground until badly damaged, THEN do that. You can bring the damage to damn near 200, and that's not counting wearing the Fierce Deity and having consumed damage boosting food/elixir. Feel free to edit your comment with this.
The actual best weapon for this is a pristine Royal Guard Claymore which can take down a Silver Lynel with a single mount. It does require a bit of setup with rock octorocks for +10 damage but you can deal around 875 damage with a Molduga Jaw (Stalnox Horn is also sufficient) if I have the numbers correct. You achieve this damage by having a full set of Radiant armor upgraded twice for Bone Proficiency, attack up 3 food, and the RG Claymore+ brought down to 1 durability for a x10.8 multiplier. There’s videos on this. Also, Fierce Deity/Barbarian armor doesn’t stack with food once you have 3 levels of attack up since they’re the same modifier. I believe the set bonuses from the various Hero armor sets do stack but I don’t know the exact bonus you get from them. Regardless though, Radiant armor is sufficient for this.
@@julianmitchell5776 I, don't quite get what you're asking, if you asking How to smash it into the ground, simply do the jump strike or charge it for a hot second, the ending will always smash it into the ground, damaging the weapon. As for the strongest item you have, it's exactly what it says, w/e you have that is your strongest material, if you want THE strongest, you need Silver Lynel Saber Horn.
A couple notes: 1: Robbie will only move to Hateno after you unlock auto build, and you have completed at least one temple 2: To mitigate the number of weapons needed down to just 1, use the puff shroom to easily headshot the lynel and then mount him. Mounted attacks on a lynel's back do not consume durability. You shouldn't need many bows, and if you do, the lynels all drop bows, the last 3 dropping the best bow in the game, the savage lynel bow
Forest dweller gear can help you save up on puffshrooms. It makes any "bursting" type items stay on the weapon after using them. However, they come with a short cooldown, which is shorter than the duration of the cloud
That is why you can get two of them every Blood Moon. Alternate between the two, or stockpile an armory first.. And when they break, they have a chance of spawning as Pristine variants in the Depths directly below Korrok Forrest. Of course, that plan has one fatal flaw: You need to defeat a Gaggle of Gloom Hands and a Phantom Ganondorf first. I did it by dropping down an auto targeting Zonai Death Lazor on top of an Auto Balancer, and popped Large Charges like Tic Tacs while hiding on a ledge. And at best, I was only doing chip damage, but it was enough.
This really helps me out, thank you so much! I’m not very good at fighting fast or somewhat unpredictable enemies like Lynels since I’m kinda new to fighting in games. Most videos I’ve seen that detail how to fight them usually are kinda stressful, talking fast to describe every strategy they use in real-time. That’s kinda hard for me to understand as someone with autism because there’s so much information going in at once that I don’t know how to apply what’s explained. You explained things in a very simple way with a really relaxing tone of voice, and that kinda reassures me that I can do this. I’ll probably edit this comment once I actually defeat one! Edit: I beat a red lynel on the surface, then a WHITE-MANED lynel with rock armor in the depths!! It was clumsy, but I did it!!! Thank you SO much!
oh my gosh i feel the same!! i don't have autism but i do have adhd and really need a slow, clear explanation to process everything. i've always felt kind of ashamed of it so it's really nice to see another person who has this
@@vickysmashesyouwithahammer guess you are not a botw veteran just save beforehand practice with sword lynels just have a bunch of any one hand weapons above 30 damage
You can also fuse two chests together, and autobuild it using zonai, the lynel will get stuck in its yelling animation trying to break it apart over and over again, but it's unbreakable so.. they're stuck. I put 4 of these around the colosseum in case they were able to break free of the trance lol. If you mount them, there's a chance you shifted them out of it, but with 4 units placed evenly around, they can't escape 😈
@@AlmightyArceus but it's not. It's just using the game mechanics in a clever way to more easily defeat difficult enemies. Which is what this game wants you to do.
@@brittanyroberson556 yeah there are videos but you don't really need them. Just fuse two treasure chests together, save it in your favorites, and autobuild them with zonaite near a lynel. It gets stuck in the animation trying to destroy the zonai device. You still have to hit it until it dies, so make sure you've got enough high damage weapons for the colosseum or higher lynels in the wild. I had an issue at first where bombing or using Riju to get rid of the armor on the lynel at the end of the colosseum would break it out of the animation, I'm not sure why, but placing 4 around the whole arena fixed that 👍
Man thank you so much for this vid! I was able to complete this coliseum having only done one of the regional phenomena and not being super highly equipped. Now I got me some sick bows/shields and weapon fuse mats. Cheers!
oh my god, I watched a few videos giving me tips but they all still weren't at my skill level.. but this??? this is genius and I'm so glad I found this video, thank you!! i'm gonna go in it more confidently!
An even easier time is apparently to ultrahand indestructable items. You can do chests. Or for a way to jail Lynels there are iron constructs in the depths that can be autobuilt without breaking. Creating a ring and locking lynel in it locks them into the shout animation
The fortress on Hebra for the Free Hebra quest has those cages. It's fairly close to the stable. Believe you can use it to capture the electric enemies as well which I think has been used like batteries in some builds. lol.
This works for the most part. But I also learned mid through that fusing the right things to weapons will help you body almost any enemy. I'm late to this game but played BOTW. I do have the Fierce Deity armor but most of my weapons stay above 40 attack power. Thanks for sharing. This makes it easier to take them down.
And here I've been killing Lynels the old-fashioned way: dodging + flurry strikes, arrows to the face, etc. But this sounds like a *much* better solution!
Was in the depths and found a lynel. Thought it was a normal lynel. Nope. It was wearing armor. Not only that. It turned out to be a silver. Was close to death too. Never have a parried so perfectly for 20 minutes straight.
I got up to the last lynel in the colosseum very early-game, used up most weapons and all my food to do so Ended up getting him to like 5% hp before I missed a parry and got 1-shotted lo
you could actually do this with only one puffshroom if you attach it to a weapon with fuse recycling like the forest dwellers spear, which you can actually get super easily just sitting there unguarded (in the day at least) on a chest on makat island (right next to korok forest but not inside it). the thjngs fused to it have a cooldown but its short enough that you can just switch back to it after doing a charge attack and it will work again. this would save a ton of time with gathering puffshrooms since youd only need one
@@Pop_Shepski gloom hands have a set area they spawn. They’ll always spawn in a location you find them in. If you aggro them and then go far enough away they will despawn for a while if you are not confident in killing them. If you wanna try killing them, try elemental arrows. I honestly just use gems as that usually two shots them or gets them very low. The second phase is more manageable once you learn the patterns
@@anthonynguyen1289 yeah gem arrows are really good against them, bombs are also fairly good since they can hit all of them at once and set them on fire
@@asher3311 Freeze first before bombing if you wanna get fancy with it. Although there isnt much in this game that cant be easily sorted out by just spaming bomb arrows lol. Especially when you use the multi shot bows. I don't know if its a bug that will eventually get patched, but explosion dmg doesnt seem have a cap like it did in botw
Doesn't work. The lynel just walks out of the smoke while i am hitting him. Must've been an update or something, but i got killed multiple times following these instructions
Okay it's an absolute must do for begginers that's for sure. If you're a bit experienced with Lynel's fights, you can also so the classic parry/headshot and while on them you can use Ganon Ghost's weapons since their effect doesn't apply when using them on a Lynel's back (so with let's say the Demon King's Spear + Lynel's Horn or something it adds up to 95 damages)
I can do flurry rushes but can't shield parry worth a damn. Major disadvantage in the first game due to the guardian and boss lasers but thankfully not required in this game
I forgot I had 168 puffshrooms but after so many deaths and retries I prevailed. Had mid tier weapons. And at the end only one weapon and two bows remained. Overall, very tough battle.
Definitely agreed with what bebeh said. I actually went up against an armored Lynel last night, surprisingly used the right weapon to break through it's armor, fought and killed it. I'm still trying to figure out what I did...
This honestly saved me I was stuck on the last one after stumbling upon this coliseum and using all my eye arrows and insane amount of parrys and dodges along with all my gloom heals. Had 4 hearts and had to kill the last one. Remembered I had 8 puff shoots but my weapons weren't really powerful enough so finished the last one with an electric chuchu and it was so close I nearly peed my pants
I entered the coliseum with 20 hearts, 17 of which were gloomed away. No gloom food. So I had to no hit the whole coliseum. Fucking hardest shit ever. My hero's path has a minute long death sequence there. Loved it.
Thanks for this it works very well. I managed to defeat my first Lynnel in TofK with it, even if it sometimes jumped out of the way or teleported. But I think that was more on me and getting my timing wrong
for other enemies, using the the eightfold blade as a base improves sneak strikes, and are dropped by yiga. so it can be useful with other coliseums if using puff shrooms. also, the lynel bows and eyeball arrows are OP. can cause all 3 shots to hit the head of enemies. lotsa broken stuff in this game
@@smrodan Yeah its ridiculous how op those eyes are with multi shot bows on the gleeoks. Then again you cant really go wrong with 5x bomb arrows either lol
My man, I just spent about an hour of hardcore combat with the colosseum. Honestly harder than some SOULS bosses I’ve encountered. Felt good to beat that last armoured lynal when I couldn’t take any more hits
Tried this once with a Silver Lynel in the wild and it worked. Couldn’t successfully replicate it, but never tried to afterward and just practiced parrying and dodging. It helps to be able to time the parrying, shoot them in the face with an arrow to stun, get four swings in and mount to get some more. Shield fusions also help to activate more slow-motion for shooting arrows, especially if armored. Multi-shot bows with bomb flowers is so good for this.
just fuse 2 chests together and save for autobuild. lynels will scream to break the construct but chests(even autobuilt) cannot break so they will just be stuck in a screaming loop while you kill them. and i would say it's more cost efficient than farming puffshrooms
Got to this Coliseum before finishing any of the Temples and also with half my weapon arsenal being unfused weapons. So it definitely added an element of stress to try and fuse my weapons when the lynels were stunned 😂 Took a while and some tragic deaths but it really helped me learn how to flurry rush and perfect guard much better.
Forest dweller weapons can reuse single use attachments. So I always carry a forest dweller spear + puffshroom. Beware, it needs to charge when you first equip it, so it's not as quick to whip out if you are using it in rapid succession like in this video
This is much more helpful than a different guide i watched which was basically "fuse a gleok horn to a spear and cheese, lol" i am a scared baby, you think i fought a 3 headed dragon? 😅
i thought the same thing, but then stumbled upon a King Gleeok, and beat his ass to the ground..... very easy fight, the only difficult part was the last section of his health, where he flies higher into the air, and unleashes a shitstorm of ice spikes, fire and lightning blasts at you all at once....
Lots to add for Lynel killing: for your Puffshrooms strat (first). Forest Dwellers weapon. Collect, use, and break the two on top of the deku tree then head to the depths same area for the spirit platforms. This is a tactic you'll want to get good at. Reusable puffshrooms for all your shrooms needs. Now, on to late game "real" Lynel thrashing. Get into Hyrule castle find, spam use, and break royal and royal guard weapons. Now underground... I've found two statues under eventide that crank one handers and two handers. Ive found 2 hebra area (valley) that drop spears. Get a royal and royal guard something. Time for "Rockorock". In Minecraft terms the rocktorocks are..an anvil, grindstone, and enchanting table all rolled into on. You want to drop your weapons in front of him and roll for attack ups. Note: dismiss Tulin. You can walk away from him and all the other sages will behave, but Tulin will crack him before he can do his thing every time. Finally, wear the royal guards weapon down to the last hit left. When it's "weak", stop, save, take one more swing to check. Reset if it breaks and stop cause you're all good. When you mount a Lynels back weapon damage is totally free, losing no durability. Math time. Royal guards claymore, pristine. Had the +9 atk on it. Down to last hit. Silver Lynel saber equipped had it at 208. Red Lynel drops in 3 hits (with +3 atk from bananas or equip), blue in 4, white in 5, silver can bearly survive a full 6. Barely
I knew puff shrooms would be OP when Aonuma-san showed how they work in the gameplay demo. I figured they'd be a rare resource, but nope! Heck of a lot of fun, though.
If that's the mob I think it is and he throws rocks at you, I use the rewind ability before the rock hits me to throw it back at him. It's cheese but idc cuz I'm not good at standing and fighting in these games lol
Extremely informative thanks, I would had eventually figured this out but God knows when. Great video and pls share more tips on other ways to make the game more easier 😊
⭐️.. I shoot the Lynel with a puff shroom, that makes them sheath their weapons, then you can actually mount them without stunning them and attack. If you get kicked off just activate bullet time with your bow in midair and hit it with another puff shroom... that's how I beat the Lynel arena...
I tried this on a couple lynels in the wild and they seem to move around a lot more than this video shows. I don't know if that's a 1.1.2 thing or the video just cut that out but def have to move around and avoid a few hits even w/this mushroom approach. Nice approach - def going to keep trying it. Thanks for the video.
You can also fuse 2 chests, and save that in autobuild, build it in the arena before triggering them to start the fight. Lure the Lynels near it Lynels hate Zonai and will roar to break it... But it CAN'T break that build for whatever reason. They'll just stand there roaring while you beat them up It isn't fool proof, and the armored one can be a pain, but with puffs to help... It's another way to cheese the fights lol
This seems like a developer oversight. It's just dumb how the lynel just stands there with its guard down. He should be flailing the sword like mad or something. Great job on your part for finding this and posting it, it's going to make some farming easier, but a part of me would like this to be patched
Easier method: Find two silver chests. Easiest is to find a cave with two like like's and kill them. Don't open their chests though. Simply fuse the closed chests together. That's it. Then save that blueprint in your autobuild menu. Now go to a lynel. Before engaging the Lynel autobuild the chests and pick them up. Place them in front of the lynel. Sometimes he doesn't notice so just force it in his face again and put it down. What happens is that the lynel will get stun locked in an animation to try and break the chests apart with a roar. Lynels are programmed to break your builds before continuing to attack, however these chests are unbreakable. Have fun afking Lynels
Being a low skill player, I have resorted to a modified version of this tactic. Throw the puffshroom at the Lynel, equip an arrow with an eyeball , fire it and stun the Lynel. Then mount and dispatch with the strongest weapon you have. Bone proficient armor, attack up food, and the flashing red Mulduga hammer make even the strongest Lynel a one-mount kill. Total cost; one puffshroom, one guided arrow, and five mighty bananas per Lynel.
Great video!! I beat the first 3 Lynels on my own but thank god I found your video before doing the last one. I was already low on hearts and weapons 🥲 Thanks!! 🙏🏻
This helped so much thanks. Saw an armoured gloom white mane lynel and beat him easily shooting the puffshrooms into the floor with an arrow and smashing his armour with a stone talus fused sword.
if you have one strong weapon you can also do the puffshroom strat but instead of just attacking it you can headshot it and then mount so you can deal big dmg without losing dura
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really suck at fighting these things and I needed the Silver Lynel drops for the Ancient Hero Aspect. Now I can be a Zonai taking on Ganondorf.
The algorithm strikes again. Perfect timing, considering I just discovered the Floating Coliseum by accident as I was roaming around the Depths trying to light up the area
The easiest way is to use a royal guard weapon that doubles its damage on low durability and then use it only when on the lynels back because it doesnt take off durability then. you can three hit some lynels that way.
Yeah, you also need radiant armor level 2 infused with Moldoga jaw, on a royal guard on its very last hit. It'll one round any lynel one you get on its back, but you have to be very careful not to break it.
To hell with wasting puff shrooms on them, use keese eye if you can't hit it yourself. Then jump on the back with a weapon that's next to breaking to get double damage (make sure you fuse something good on it) you can easily have a 100+ weapon. Jump on the back a hit it over and over again and that weapon won't break. Rinse and repeat. Save between fights in case something goes wrong but pick up the loot before saving (may want to drop a cheap bow and pick up the cheep 3 shot between each round to make sure you don't run into a damaged bow situation.) On the last one, bomb the crap out of the Lynel until it's rock armor comes off. May want to puff shroom here to keep him clouded.
Quick tip: (depths floating coliseum) run to the u shape stairs puff shroom and bomb arrows. If you're stocked up the challenge is easy no need to dodge about 60 flower bombs and 20 puff shroom rinse and repeat.find the u shape stairs case hit first with puff shroom then spam flower bombs. Good luck
it started getting too easy for me so i sped to the final boss with limited food items before the challenge was ruined. i enjoyed the fight and will say nothing more of it for sake of spoilers
Yeah, I think this game is the limit for how far they should take player freedom. It was a magical first playthrough for me, and I love the game for all the creativity it fosters, but I think it's time to reign it in a bit more. I can see this becoming a much, much bigger problem if they don't.
Glad you're the best person ever at video games. But not all of us can be as talented and skilled. Totk is plenty difficult enough, if you wanna play an hard game go play a soulsborne game.
idk this makes you go through and destroy all your weapons essentially, its much more cost effective to go for bow headshot stuns, then mounting with a really high powered weapon as the mounted attacks do not degrade weapons (idk if thats by design or if theyll patch it)
This means litteraly nothing, but I've steered clear of every guide video out there, but as I've fough a few Lynels so far with just about 5 Health total, i'm curious to see what strategy you also came up with. And i want to support your channel!
Another way: fuse best fuse attachment with royal guard claymore that black one. It is in hyryle castle jumpslash till bad durability then two more jumpshlashes then it will deal around 230-300ish damage. Ride on its back (uses no durability yet breakbonus since royal guard claymore does 2x damage then for armored lynels just flurry rush with a blunt weapon.
Good vid! One note on the armor lynel: a lynel hoof infused arrow should break the armor. There's another way to beat Lynels, but it takes more work. Get radiant armor level 2, the royal weapon with the highest might that does more damage on its last hit, fuse it with Mildoga fin, use a high level attack recipe (3 bananas and a mighty thistle), then get on the lynels back. It'll one round it, but make sure you don't break it by accident. Your way is probably a lot less work though; I didn't know puff shroom was that good.
Absolutely brilliant! I haven't used the shrooms before and to find out this makes the lynels so easy to kill is superb. I guess I no longer need to stock up so much on fairies for these guys XD.
Thank you for reminding me about the second colosseum. I knew it was a trap (since I fell for the first one) so I avoided it and also forgot about it. Didn’t know it’s a Lynel murder trap.
I ended up stumbling on the colosseum before learning of my love of Puffshrooms, so I beat four of those bastards LEGIT. The last one, I was tired of it, so I notched an Ancient Blade into its skull.
That this is handy. I love the game but never really managed to master the shield block or dodge and flurry rush skills. So something like this where I can just spam a resource is pretty useful. Fortunately after Breath of the Wild I got in the habit of nabbing up everything that you can collect whether I thought I needed it or not.
Thank you! I have been tearing my hair out trying to parry / flurry rush fast enough as my fierce deity armour isn't powered up enough (due to not having Lunel guts!) so he is killing me in one hit!
Awesome use of the puffshroom! I never rhought of that :p You should add that you can ride the Lynells and save weapon durability. I am using both methods and it has helped with that last fight.
I'm pretty sure I've got hundreds of Puffshrooms, I never use them lol and I explore the Depths a lot. I have been doing every colosseum I come across except the Floating one because I know its the Lynel one. I just found the Korok Mask in one of the Colosseums.
instead of breaking all your weapons on Lynels asses, you could try to mount him while he's confused in smoke. Crit strikes from mount do not consume durability. That way you can try to use big damage weapons
I summon all the sages. Equip my most damaging weapon, don my best gear, down an attack potion, and get 'er done in under a minute. No matter what Lynel it is.
Super helpful for those of us who aren’t coordinated for lynel fighting 😂
Just the addition of Homing Arrows on a multi shot bow was enough for me.

this!

@TheRfGuy korok forest specifically has a respawnable set of forest gear at the top of the great deku tree

@@bofa722 that must be why the average length it takes to fight one has gone up, and there's twice as many videos on the topic. 🙄 If this guy is a rookie, it's gonna be harder for him.
@@thisguy1413the time it takes to fight one has gone up because TotK weapons are weaker, but even this is overcome by getting pristine weapons from the depths & fusing.
BotW Lynels were easy once I figured out how to use stasis and big bonfires to get up in the air so I could hit them with bomb arrows to the face. I never even got close enough for them to hit me.
You can warp away from the lynels at the colosseum in between fights and grab more puffshrooms or heal or w.e. as long as a bloodmoon doesnt happen to reset the current wave.
I don't think you can get a blood moon in the depths.. I spend 2 real time days so about 5-7 in game days and never got one.
@@Kat-mu8wq 7 in game days is 2 hours 48 minutes of real world time

I am stuck in there with only 3 hearts and I never thought of this 😂 THANK YOU
Slight tweak to your method. Puff shroom, shoot head to stun, get on back, stab, repeat. Mounted attacks don’t decrease durability.
Edit: this is my most liked comment and I’m not sure how to feel about that
Added slight tweak, get Royal Greatsword, fuse it with you strongest item, keep smashing it into the ground until badly damaged, THEN do that.
You can bring the damage to damn near 200, and that's not counting wearing the Fierce Deity and having consumed damage boosting food/elixir.
Feel free to edit your comment with this.
The actual best weapon for this is a pristine Royal Guard Claymore which can take down a Silver Lynel with a single mount. It does require a bit of setup with rock octorocks for +10 damage but you can deal around 875 damage with a Molduga Jaw (Stalnox Horn is also sufficient) if I have the numbers correct. You achieve this damage by having a full set of Radiant armor upgraded twice for Bone Proficiency, attack up 3 food, and the RG Claymore+ brought down to 1 durability for a x10.8 multiplier. There’s videos on this.
Also, Fierce Deity/Barbarian armor doesn’t stack with food once you have 3 levels of attack up since they’re the same modifier. I believe the set bonuses from the various Hero armor sets do stack but I don’t know the exact bonus you get from them. Regardless though, Radiant armor is sufficient for this.
@fhilleos Keep smashing the sword into the ground ??? And fuse with your strongest item like what for example ?
There's no point in getting a prestine claymore, as just a decayed one is already enough to kill a silver lynel with a single mount
@@julianmitchell5776 I, don't quite get what you're asking, if you asking How to smash it into the ground, simply do the jump strike or charge it for a hot second, the ending will always smash it into the ground, damaging the weapon.
As for the strongest item you have, it's exactly what it says, w/e you have that is your strongest material, if you want THE strongest, you need Silver Lynel Saber Horn.
A couple notes:
1: Robbie will only move to Hateno after you unlock auto build, and you have completed at least one temple
2: To mitigate the number of weapons needed down to just 1, use the puff shroom to easily headshot the lynel and then mount him. Mounted attacks on a lynel's back do not consume durability. You shouldn't need many bows, and if you do, the lynels all drop bows, the last 3 dropping the best bow in the game, the savage lynel bow
*use the puffshroom to mount him*
When a Lynel is in a puff cloud, you don't need to stun them to get on their back.
Puff shrooms typically grow in groups of four around the giant mushrooms. I’ve also noticed bomb flowers grow around the giant mushroom with bumps.
Forest dweller gear can help you save up on puffshrooms. It makes any "bursting" type items stay on the weapon after using them. However, they come with a short cooldown, which is shorter than the duration of the cloud
That is why you can get two of them every Blood Moon. Alternate between the two, or stockpile an armory first.. And when they break, they have a chance of spawning as Pristine variants in the Depths directly below Korrok Forrest. Of course, that plan has one fatal flaw: You need to defeat a Gaggle of Gloom Hands and a Phantom Ganondorf first. I did it by dropping down an auto targeting Zonai Death Lazor on top of an Auto Balancer, and popped Large Charges like Tic Tacs while hiding on a ledge. And at best, I was only doing chip damage, but it was enough.
@@Starcat5 you can use bomb arrows to attack the hands
@@vickysmashesyouwithahammer Oh, the Hands are the easy part. It is the Phantom Ganondorf that I still don't have an easy answer for.
Royal bow, from the ledge above. 20 arrows.
@@vickysmashesyouwithahammer
Or just throw bombs. I used fire chuchu my first time.
This really helps me out, thank you so much! I’m not very good at fighting fast or somewhat unpredictable enemies like Lynels since I’m kinda new to fighting in games. Most videos I’ve seen that detail how to fight them usually are kinda stressful, talking fast to describe every strategy they use in real-time. That’s kinda hard for me to understand as someone with autism because there’s so much information going in at once that I don’t know how to apply what’s explained. You explained things in a very simple way with a really relaxing tone of voice, and that kinda reassures me that I can do this. I’ll probably edit this comment once I actually defeat one!
Edit: I beat a red lynel on the surface, then a WHITE-MANED lynel with rock armor in the depths!! It was clumsy, but I did it!!! Thank you SO much!
oh my gosh i feel the same!! i don't have autism but i do have adhd and really need a slow, clear explanation to process everything. i've always felt kind of ashamed of it so it's really nice to see another person who has this

@@rusluck6620 wow you're sooo cool
@@vickysmashesyouwithahammer duuuuude i thought everybody kills lynels for boredom

just save beforehand
practice with sword lynels
just have a bunch of any one hand weapons above 30 damage
You can also fuse two chests together, and autobuild it using zonai, the lynel will get stuck in its yelling animation trying to break it apart over and over again, but it's unbreakable so.. they're stuck. I put 4 of these around the colosseum in case they were able to break free of the trance lol. If you mount them, there's a chance you shifted them out of it, but with 4 units placed evenly around, they can't escape 😈
Oh is there a video on this? Chests like treasure chests? I need any way I can find to cheese these fights lol
That just feels like exploiting a game glitch.
@@AlmightyArceus but it's not. It's just using the game mechanics in a clever way to more easily defeat difficult enemies. Which is what this game wants you to do.
@@brittanyroberson556 yeah there are videos but you don't really need them. Just fuse two treasure chests together, save it in your favorites, and autobuild them with zonaite near a lynel. It gets stuck in the animation trying to destroy the zonai device. You still have to hit it until it dies, so make sure you've got enough high damage weapons for the colosseum or higher lynels in the wild. I had an issue at first where bombing or using Riju to get rid of the armor on the lynel at the end of the colosseum would break it out of the animation, I'm not sure why, but placing 4 around the whole arena fixed that 👍
Good place to scan amiibos then.
Man thank you so much for this vid! I was able to complete this coliseum having only done one of the regional phenomena and not being super highly equipped. Now I got me some sick bows/shields and weapon fuse mats. Cheers!
oh my god, I watched a few videos giving me tips but they all still weren't at my skill level.. but this??? this is genius and I'm so glad I found this video, thank you!! i'm gonna go in it more confidently!
Holy crap dude Lynels are my most hated enemy in these games I'm so glad you pointed this out to me.
really smart use of sidon's ability with the zora spears, i used a bunch of splash fruit at my feet most of the time
Add the silver lynel blade and use the light scale trident and it does like 174 damage
An even easier time is apparently to ultrahand indestructable items. You can do chests. Or for a way to jail Lynels there are iron constructs in the depths that can be autobuilt without breaking. Creating a ring and locking lynel in it locks them into the shout animation
The fortress on Hebra for the Free Hebra quest has those cages. It's fairly close to the stable. Believe you can use it to capture the electric enemies as well which I think has been used like batteries in some builds. lol.
This works for the most part. But I also learned mid through that fusing the right things to weapons will help you body almost any enemy. I'm late to this game but played BOTW. I do have the Fierce Deity armor but most of my weapons stay above 40 attack power. Thanks for sharing. This makes it easier to take them down.
And here I've been killing Lynels the old-fashioned way: dodging + flurry strikes, arrows to the face, etc. But this sounds like a *much* better solution!
Was in the depths and found a lynel. Thought it was a normal lynel. Nope. It was wearing armor. Not only that. It turned out to be a silver. Was close to death too. Never have a parried so perfectly for 20 minutes straight.
Sure bud
@@Danimal28 parry more, scrub
I got up to the last lynel in the colosseum very early-game, used up most weapons and all my food to do so
Ended up getting him to like 5% hp before I missed a parry and got 1-shotted lo
you could actually do this with only one puffshroom if you attach it to a weapon with fuse recycling like the forest dwellers spear, which you can actually get super easily just sitting there unguarded (in the day at least) on a chest on makat island (right next to korok forest but not inside it). the thjngs fused to it have a cooldown but its short enough that you can just switch back to it after doing a charge attack and it will work again. this would save a ton of time with gathering puffshrooms since youd only need one
I got attacked by Gloom Hands there.
Are those things random?
@@Pop_Shepski gloom hands have a set area they spawn. They’ll always spawn in a location you find them in. If you aggro them and then go far enough away they will despawn for a while if you are not confident in killing them. If you wanna try killing them, try elemental arrows. I honestly just use gems as that usually two shots them or gets them very low. The second phase is more manageable once you learn the patterns
@@Pop_Shepski i mightve just forgotten about thsoe there or something lol, i probably teleported away right after seeing them
@@anthonynguyen1289 yeah gem arrows are really good against them, bombs are also fairly good since they can hit all of them at once and set them on fire
@@asher3311 Freeze first before bombing if you wanna get fancy with it. Although there isnt much in this game that cant be easily sorted out by just spaming bomb arrows lol. Especially when you use the multi shot bows. I don't know if its a bug that will eventually get patched, but explosion dmg doesnt seem have a cap like it did in botw
I've never managed to kill a Lynel. You've given me Hope.
Thanks for the excellent demonstration.
This is genius, thank you! I have nightmares about stupid lynels.
Great idea. In botw is used to use the stasis+ rune to help me deal with them. This is a great idea!
They definitely patched this, just tried it and the lynels teleport out and away from the smoke - unless I just fucked it up somehow
Doesn't work. The lynel just walks out of the smoke while i am hitting him. Must've been an update or something, but i got killed multiple times following these instructions
I’ve run across a couple in my adventures and I instinctively try pulling out Stasis so many times lol
Same. I miss stasis most in this game. That and Revali's ability.
Same, I always forget we don't have that.
The lynel still keeps running away and swinging his weapons and hitting me even though I threw a puffshroom at him.
Okay it's an absolute must do for begginers that's for sure.
If you're a bit experienced with Lynel's fights, you can also so the classic parry/headshot and while on them you can use Ganon Ghost's weapons since their effect doesn't apply when using them on a Lynel's back (so with let's say the Demon King's Spear + Lynel's Horn or something it adds up to 95 damages)
Out of everything in BOTW and this one this is the only enemy I run from lol. Especially without ancient arrows!! THANK YOU!!!
Thank you! I can't time flurry rushes for the life of me so this is very helpful.
I can do flurry rushes but can't shield parry worth a damn. Major disadvantage in the first game due to the guardian and boss lasers but thankfully not required in this game
I forgot I had 168 puffshrooms but after so many deaths and retries I prevailed. Had mid tier weapons. And at the end only one weapon and two bows remained. Overall, very tough battle.
Can confirm this still works on 1.1.2
i don' think this is a glitch
Definitely agreed with what bebeh said. I actually went up against an armored Lynel last night, surprisingly used the right weapon to break through it's armor, fought and killed it. I'm still trying to figure out what I did...
This honestly saved me I was stuck on the last one after stumbling upon this coliseum and using all my eye arrows and insane amount of parrys and dodges along with all my gloom heals. Had 4 hearts and had to kill the last one. Remembered I had 8 puff shoots but my weapons weren't really powerful enough so finished the last one with an electric chuchu and it was so close I nearly peed my pants
...everything in this game makes me shit myself.. but nothing more than trees.. im just walking along then boof.
I entered the coliseum with 20 hearts, 17 of which were gloomed away. No gloom food.
So I had to no hit the whole coliseum. Fucking hardest shit ever. My hero's path has a minute long death sequence there. Loved it.
Thanks for this it works very well. I managed to defeat my first Lynnel in TofK with it, even if it sometimes jumped out of the way or teleported. But I think that was more on me and getting my timing wrong
for other enemies, using the the eightfold blade as a base improves sneak strikes, and are dropped by yiga. so it can be useful with other coliseums if using puff shrooms.
also, the lynel bows and eyeball arrows are OP. can cause all 3 shots to hit the head of enemies. lotsa broken stuff in this game
Especially when they're elemental keese eyes LOL
@@smrodan Yeah its ridiculous how op those eyes are with multi shot bows on the gleeoks. Then again you cant really go wrong with 5x bomb arrows either lol
My man, I just spent about an hour of hardcore combat with the colosseum. Honestly harder than some SOULS bosses I’ve encountered. Felt good to beat that last armoured lynal when I couldn’t take any more hits
Wait what, by "souls" Ur talking about dark souls right ? Becoz hum, i though dark souls was a hard game
He'll nah bro dark souls bosses are actually proper hard the colosseum has very easy timing and pattern, dark souls are much harder tho
Thank you. I got very fed up with the Lynel fights. I could do 3 of them the "normal" way but the 4th was too much.
Tried this once with a Silver Lynel in the wild and it worked.
Couldn’t successfully replicate it, but never tried to afterward and just practiced parrying and dodging.
It helps to be able to time the parrying, shoot them in the face with an arrow to stun, get four swings in and mount to get some more.
Shield fusions also help to activate more slow-motion for shooting arrows, especially if armored.
Multi-shot bows with bomb flowers is so good for this.
just fuse 2 chests together and save for autobuild. lynels will scream to break the construct but chests(even autobuilt) cannot break so they will just be stuck in a screaming loop while you kill them. and i would say it's more cost efficient than farming puffshrooms
Got to this Coliseum before finishing any of the Temples and also with half my weapon arsenal being unfused weapons. So it definitely added an element of stress to try and fuse my weapons when the lynels were stunned 😂
Took a while and some tragic deaths but it really helped me learn how to flurry rush and perfect guard much better.
Thanks to you, I can finally face a Lynel without shitting my pants.
Forest dweller weapons can reuse single use attachments. So I always carry a forest dweller spear + puffshroom. Beware, it needs to charge when you first equip it, so it's not as quick to whip out if you are using it in rapid succession like in this video
This is much more helpful than a different guide i watched which was basically "fuse a gleok horn to a spear and cheese, lol" i am a scared baby, you think i fought a 3 headed dragon? 😅
i thought the same thing, but then stumbled upon a King Gleeok, and beat his ass to the ground..... very easy fight, the only difficult part was the last section of his health, where he flies higher into the air, and unleashes a shitstorm of ice spikes, fire and lightning blasts at you all at once....
Hylia bless the puffshrooms. I also love the muddle buds for dealing with groups.
Lots to add for Lynel killing: for your Puffshrooms strat (first). Forest Dwellers weapon. Collect, use, and break the two on top of the deku tree then head to the depths same area for the spirit platforms. This is a tactic you'll want to get good at.
Reusable puffshrooms for all your shrooms needs. Now, on to late game "real" Lynel thrashing. Get into Hyrule castle find, spam use, and break royal and royal guard weapons. Now underground...
I've found two statues under eventide that crank one handers and two handers. Ive found 2 hebra area (valley) that drop spears. Get a royal and royal guard something. Time for "Rockorock".
In Minecraft terms the rocktorocks are..an anvil, grindstone, and enchanting table all rolled into on. You want to drop your weapons in front of him and roll for attack ups. Note: dismiss Tulin. You can walk away from him and all the other sages will behave, but Tulin will crack him before he can do his thing every time.
Finally, wear the royal guards weapon down to the last hit left. When it's "weak", stop, save, take one more swing to check. Reset if it breaks and stop cause you're all good. When you mount a Lynels back weapon damage is totally free, losing no durability.
Math time. Royal guards claymore, pristine. Had the +9 atk on it. Down to last hit. Silver Lynel saber equipped had it at 208. Red Lynel drops in 3 hits (with +3 atk from bananas or equip), blue in 4, white in 5, silver can bearly survive a full 6. Barely
I knew puff shrooms would be OP when Aonuma-san showed how they work in the gameplay demo. I figured they'd be a rare resource, but nope! Heck of a lot of fun, though.
Very straightforward and descriptive, thank you!
I went and signed in and came back just to like this video. Thanks!
i killed my first Gigama yesterday!! i’m not ready for a lynel yet but i needed to get that out.
If that's the mob I think it is and he throws rocks at you, I use the rewind ability before the rock hits me to throw it back at him. It's cheese but idc cuz I'm not good at standing and fighting in these games lol
Extremely informative thanks, I would had eventually figured this out but God knows when. Great video and pls share more tips on other ways to make the game more easier 😊
fun fact: if you want to break an enemie's rock armor instantly, just attach a cooking pot to an arrow. you're welcome :)
⭐️.. I shoot the Lynel with a puff shroom, that makes them sheath their weapons, then you can actually mount them without stunning them and attack. If you get kicked off just activate bullet time with your bow in midair and hit it with another puff shroom... that's how I beat the Lynel arena...
3:18
At this point it's better to mount the back of the Lynel so that your weapons don't take damage.
I tried this on a couple lynels in the wild and they seem to move around a lot more than this video shows. I don't know if that's a 1.1.2 thing or the video just cut that out but def have to move around and avoid a few hits even w/this mushroom approach. Nice approach - def going to keep trying it. Thanks for the video.
You can also fuse 2 chests, and save that in autobuild, build it in the arena before triggering them to start the fight.
Lure the Lynels near it
Lynels hate Zonai and will roar to break it... But it CAN'T break that build for whatever reason. They'll just stand there roaring while you beat them up
It isn't fool proof, and the armored one can be a pain, but with puffs to help... It's another way to cheese the fights lol
Really that still works? tried a couple of months back on a white maned Lynel and he just roared and obliterated the chests.
@@uknowme1811 I haven't allowed my game to update for quite some time now, it might have been patched out in more recent versions
This seems like a developer oversight. It's just dumb how the lynel just stands there with its guard down. He should be flailing the sword like mad or something. Great job on your part for finding this and posting it, it's going to make some farming easier, but a part of me would like this to be patched
Your straight to the point I like that
This strat also works against Bokoblins, Lizalfos, & Moblins so you can get their materials to make your Lynel killing weapons.
The stun-and-mount method seems way more fun, but I'll have to try this on days when I'm feeling lazy.
Easier method:
Find two silver chests. Easiest is to find a cave with two like like's and kill them. Don't open their chests though.
Simply fuse the closed chests together. That's it. Then save that blueprint in your autobuild menu.
Now go to a lynel. Before engaging the Lynel autobuild the chests and pick them up. Place them in front of the lynel. Sometimes he doesn't notice so just force it in his face again and put it down.
What happens is that the lynel will get stun locked in an animation to try and break the chests apart with a roar. Lynels are programmed to break your builds before continuing to attack, however these chests are unbreakable.
Have fun afking Lynels
Being a low skill player, I have resorted to a modified version of this tactic. Throw the puffshroom at the Lynel, equip an arrow with an eyeball , fire it and stun the Lynel. Then mount and dispatch with the strongest weapon you have. Bone proficient armor, attack up food, and the flashing red Mulduga hammer make even the strongest Lynel a one-mount kill. Total cost; one puffshroom, one guided arrow, and five mighty bananas per Lynel.
Bro turned the floating coliseum into a slaughterhouse operation
This video is great, thank you! I think attaching a puffshroom to a forest dweller item make this even easier, I'll try that.
Great video!! I beat the first 3 Lynels on my own but thank god I found your video before doing the last one. I was already low on hearts and weapons 🥲 Thanks!! 🙏🏻
This helped so much thanks.
Saw an armoured gloom white mane lynel and beat him easily shooting the puffshrooms into the floor with an arrow and smashing his armour with a stone talus fused sword.
You can put a puffshroom on a Woodland spear. It has a short recharge timer but you can use 1 shroom over and over
if you have one strong weapon you can also do the puffshroom strat but instead of just attacking it you can headshot it and then mount so you can deal big dmg without losing dura
Royalguard GS to break state and use that weapon on mount attack.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I really suck at fighting these things and I needed the Silver Lynel drops for the Ancient Hero Aspect. Now I can be a Zonai taking on Ganondorf.
Whenever I try this, the Lynel just leaves the cloud.
Same
That's extremely helpful. Had 100 stack and didn't realize what they were for. Neato.
The algorithm strikes again. Perfect timing, considering I just discovered the Floating Coliseum by accident as I was roaming around the Depths trying to light up the area
The easiest way is to use a royal guard weapon that doubles its damage on low durability and then use it only when on the lynels back because it doesnt take off durability then. you can three hit some lynels that way.
The spear he is using doubles damage when wet so the damage per hit is the same, the base damage of the spear aside.
Yeah, you also need radiant armor level 2 infused with Moldoga jaw, on a royal guard on its very last hit. It'll one round any lynel one you get on its back, but you have to be very careful not to break it.
To hell with wasting puff shrooms on them, use keese eye if you can't hit it yourself. Then jump on the back with a weapon that's next to breaking to get double damage (make sure you fuse something good on it) you can easily have a 100+ weapon. Jump on the back a hit it over and over again and that weapon won't break. Rinse and repeat. Save between fights in case something goes wrong but pick up the loot before saving (may want to drop a cheap bow and pick up the cheep 3 shot between each round to make sure you don't run into a damaged bow situation.) On the last one, bomb the crap out of the Lynel until it's rock armor comes off. May want to puff shroom here to keep him clouded.
Quick tip: (depths floating coliseum) run to the u shape stairs puff shroom and bomb arrows. If you're stocked up the challenge is easy no need to dodge about 60 flower bombs and 20 puff shroom rinse and repeat.find the u shape stairs case hit first with puff shroom then spam flower bombs. Good luck
Tears of the kingdom is a constant exercise in intentionally nerfing myself so that I can experience things how it feels they were intended
it started getting too easy for me so i sped to the final boss with limited food items before the challenge was ruined. i enjoyed the fight and will say nothing more of it for sake of spoilers
I found black horriblin horns way too early and had to intentionally not farm them and become OP way too early
I just started getting silver enemies I have 13 hearts and still get one shot lol
Yeah, I think this game is the limit for how far they should take player freedom. It was a magical first playthrough for me, and I love the game for all the creativity it fosters, but I think it's time to reign it in a bit more. I can see this becoming a much, much bigger problem if they don't.
Glad you're the best person ever at video games. But not all of us can be as talented and skilled. Totk is plenty difficult enough, if you wanna play an hard game go play a soulsborne game.
My brain reading the title "Why would I want to kill a farmer named Lynels? does Links bloodthirst know no bounds!"
Oh I see 😅
Finally, a use for all the Puffshrooms I've been collecting.
idk this makes you go through and destroy all your weapons essentially, its much more cost effective to go for bow headshot stuns, then mounting with a really high powered weapon as the mounted attacks do not degrade weapons (idk if thats by design or if theyll patch it)
6:05 .... I think the Lynel likes that.....
This means litteraly nothing, but I've steered clear of every guide video out there, but as I've fough a few Lynels so far with just about 5 Health total, i'm curious to see what strategy you also came up with. And i want to support your channel!
Another way: fuse best fuse attachment with royal guard claymore that black one. It is in hyryle castle jumpslash till bad durability then two more jumpshlashes then it will deal around 230-300ish damage. Ride on its back (uses no durability yet breakbonus since royal guard claymore does 2x damage then for armored lynels just flurry rush with a blunt weapon.
Good vid! One note on the armor lynel: a lynel hoof infused arrow should break the armor.
There's another way to beat Lynels, but it takes more work. Get radiant armor level 2, the royal weapon with the highest might that does more damage on its last hit, fuse it with Mildoga fin, use a high level attack recipe (3 bananas and a mighty thistle), then get on the lynels back. It'll one round it, but make sure you don't break it by accident.
Your way is probably a lot less work though; I didn't know puff shroom was that good.
I haven't had the courage to fight a lynel yet. Thanks for the great tip.
It always look so easy watching other people and then I’m hyped and I think I can do it. But then when I try, it’s a total disaster.
Absolutely brilliant! I haven't used the shrooms before and to find out this makes the lynels so easy to kill is superb. I guess I no longer need to stock up so much on fairies for these guys XD.
Hahaha just found out about puff mushrooms yesterday and now YT recommended me this video.
Thank you for reminding me about the second colosseum. I knew it was a trap (since I fell for the first one) so I avoided it and also forgot about it. Didn’t know it’s a Lynel murder trap.
I ended up stumbling on the colosseum before learning of my love of Puffshrooms, so I beat four of those bastards LEGIT.
The last one, I was tired of it, so I notched an Ancient Blade into its skull.
That this is handy. I love the game but never really managed to master the shield block or dodge and flurry rush skills. So something like this where I can just spam a resource is pretty useful. Fortunately after Breath of the Wild I got in the habit of nabbing up everything that you can collect whether I thought I needed it or not.
Thank you! I have been tearing my hair out trying to parry / flurry rush fast enough as my fierce deity armour isn't powered up enough (due to not having Lunel guts!) so he is killing me in one hit!
Awesome use of the puffshroom!
I never rhought of that :p You should add that you can ride the Lynells and save weapon durability. I am using both methods and it has helped with that last fight.
Wish I knew this before attempting the coliseum. It was a good thing I know how to time flurry slash and had stronger weapons to deal with them.
I'm pretty sure I've got hundreds of Puffshrooms, I never use them lol and I explore the Depths a lot. I have been doing every colosseum I come across except the Floating one because I know its the Lynel one. I just found the Korok Mask in one of the Colosseums.
instead of breaking all your weapons on Lynels asses, you could try to mount him while he's confused in smoke. Crit strikes from mount do not consume durability. That way you can try to use big damage weapons
I summon all the sages. Equip my most damaging weapon, don my best gear, down an attack potion, and get 'er done in under a minute. No matter what Lynel it is.
